I felt kinda robbed by it. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5984#post-34896 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 12:46:34 +0000 Giskard 34896@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>For the record, I chose to destroy the Reapers.</p> <p>Nothing else felt right after 3 games fighting them. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5984#post-34889 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 08:33:15 +0000 GwynbleiddiuM 34889@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Well, I must say they should've put extended cut in there from the beginning. I have no idea why they decided to give us the ending the way they did but Extended Cut felt better, much much better and now I'm happy with my endings. but, I didn't go for Synthesis as my ending mainly because I didn't like the concept all that much. To me it felt it somehow takes the individuality of each race and person away. My ending for my Male Shepard was the control, cuz after the ending prologues it was the right choice. And my FemShep the destruction in which not everything died and she also survived, so it seems. </p> <p>So, finally I'm happy with my Mass Effect 3 experience. It was helluva run and I'm anxiously waiting to see where the ME universe will go from here. The Shepard Trilogy epic is over but we're not done with the universe. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5984#post-34787 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:59:59 +0000 Giskard 34787@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I liked the original endings. They weren't the most original, and did not reflect on ALL the choices I made, but they provided closure to an epic trilogy. These new and improved endings just make it better.</p> <p>Still my favourite game series this gen, even though the first was undoubtedly superior. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5984#post-34786 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:02:06 +0000 Noodlemanny 34786@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Froseidon<br /> I feel the same. I was fairly content with the original ending although the more I though about it the more I realised they weren't very good.<br /> I chose the synthesis ending also and would again because I just couldn't justify killing all synthetic life including the geth and EDI while still having the potential for synthetic life to wipe out organic life anyway. And I also though the control method, like you said, was too open to 'corruption' of the controller.<br /> I'd definitely say the new endings are better, the extra sequences add alot more closure and round off the story much better as well.<br /> I'd say the still issues, like the lack of foreshadowing and ultimate lack of effect all the decisions you made had on the ending. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5984#post-34782 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:35:58 +0000 Froseidon 34782@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I felt refusal was probably the worst ending purely because of how it ended. It seems illogical to make that choice. </p> <p>Synthesis was the ending I chose before Extended Cut, and it is the ending I would chose again. Your 'space magic' made me laugh a bit as it is still unexplained but I just feel it is the better ending.</p> <p>It seems there is still some explaining to do on Bioware's behalf but I get the feeling it might be explained in a later DLC (Leviathan, I will not go into details / spoilers. If you wish to find that out, the article is on VG). </p> <p>If I am honest, I was probably one of the few that was satisfied with the endings in the first place. Bioware stated they wanted to continue the ME universe, but without Shepard, so I feel it will still be explained and I am content to wait. This is, after all, one of my favourite stories.</p> <p>I felt that it gave closure on Shepard as a definite (except for the destroy ending as the gasping man is still left on a cliffhanger) but the galaxy hasn't had closure yet. Seeing as they wish to continue the franchise, I am comfortable with this outcome. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5984#post-34744 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:48:40 +0000 Cozzy 34744@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I have ME3 on the PS3 in the UK and so I haven't got my hands on the Extended Cut DLC, however, I've watched all the endings on Youtube. </p> <p>I feel much better about the endings. I still have a few issues but Bioware have provided more closure, even if it was just a slideshow, and fixed a few of the plot holes. </p> <p>I cannot choose which ending is best though. Destroy, while most fitting to the series, has the saddest outcome (not including Refusal). Synthesis is the happiest but it is also arguably the most stupid (Space magic?). Finally, although I like the idea behind control, it is also very strange. God-Shep could easily go insane and continue the cycle and so it does not seem like a permanent solution. This is also true of Destroy as with the reapers gone, Starchild's theory that synthetics will destroy us still remains a potential problem. Refusal was a nice touch but it is too depressing. </p> <p>So overall I cannot pick a favourite. What do you think, better or still annoyed and which ending is the your favourite? </p>
